GameCube Backup Launcher 0.2

GameCube Backup Launcher 0.2 for Wii

Changes:
- Increased speed of reloader
- Fixed bug in PokeMon XD
- Increased speed of audio fix stuff
- Allow to select to start disc itself when using a multi game disc
- Avoid green screen when starting a game (button A)
- Disc change support on startup screen
- Disc change supported for all start methods
- Fixed Kirby's Air Ride
- Fixed non working PAL games on PAL console, when pressing B (e.g. Wario World)
- Support for Freeloader
- Support for Action Replay
- The loader will change the screen format in Wii mode to the screen format of the disc inserted at startup (this solves NTSC problems).

Installation is same as old versions.

Update information:
You don't need to run miospatcher, if you already have a previous version and only want to use "rungcbackup" for starting.
If you want to use Wii Backup Launcher or the disc channel for starting, you need to run miospatcher (and press X).

hmm I tested my retail AR disc with the loader and I get a read error 263. I then burned a backup disc of AR, the loader detects it and I use auto detect to boot. The screen starts scrolling crazy and when I swap discs for the codes I get a pure black screen. You can boot with Y to stop the scrolling, but still fails to load backups. Anybody find a method to get them to work?

It seems that the problem is happening in NTSC wii. I have a NTSC wii and the loader change the video to PAL (and really... my discs are NTSC)

Since I own the original discs for every gc game I ever wanted, the only backup disc I have for Gamecube Backup Launcher is Donkey Konga Collection (multi iso with PAL and JAP). But it seems that I only get audio when I play PAL on my NTSC Wii (also, cannot save with JAP but I believe that is an issue with those particular games).

I'm kind of a n00b with the whole video patch thing, but is this one of those scenarios where the video needs to be patched to the game before burning? If so, I guess there's no method for that yet.. I also heard there might be a way to do it with starfall, but I don't know much about that.

Any help is always appreciated :)

I hope somebody figures this one out soon, I just got a new GC memory card on ebay

So I was playing Soul Calibur 2 earlier with no problems, and that was great. Much love to WiiGator.

However, I tried playing the GCN Twilight Princess today and I ran into some problems. When I launch the Backup Loader, it goes through the standard splash screen, then the screen flashes once, then goes green, after which the Wii simply restarts. I'm not sure where exactly the problem here lies. I've tried different write speeds, that didn't work, and I can't really think of anything else.
Going to go buy a different brand of DVD tomorrow and try again. I've been using Verbatim. NTSC system and game.

i think for you u.s user, you should try tinkering with the video output settings like 50hz etc

I got pretty far in a couple games via Theta, and I just now updated to .2.

Is there a way to fix the broken save files? I've heard of it being possible, but I've never been able to find a guide.
 
G
yea fixing saves are pretty simple you've just gotta use a memory manager application to strip the files to the sd card then edit the title name on the pc

for the black and white problem,

1. start up the backup launcher with a working disc inserted
2. remove the disc
3. put in the black and white disc
4. press A or whatever button you need to press
5. game should be in color

note: i have only tried this once with pokemon xd but i think it works
note: may work for other video problems with backups (havent tested)

The problem is that i can't find something that lets me extract from the gcn memory card.

What do you mean working disc? Do you mean a legal copy of a game?
And do I have to do this every time I want to use the launcher?
Does anyone know of a permanent fix?

Thanks WiiGator. I appreciate the work, but I'm going back to Xi until the bugs get worked out.

I've already updated the mIOS... Will Xi still work?
